958 Compass stops turning!

Hi guys:

on the way home today i found the compass got stock on SE, (while the altitude and degree are working fine), when i turn i can hear " tick tick tick tick" coming from the compass, (i immediately turn on the PCM compass and found it to be working fine)

after about 10 minutes of driving the everything went back to normal and compass is now turning as I turn.

any experience in this type of issue?

thanks!

mike

Same thing happened to mine. Faulty compass and they replaced it. They said it was a common problem.

took the car in, the shop could not find any faulty codes for it. i did take several pictures on my i phone so they will see if they can still replace it even though the problem did not exist while the car is in shop.

FWIW, same thing happened to me - wasn't stuck, but would never read correct direction (although center digital display was always correct). After third trip to dealer, it was replaced.

I noticed that there was a clicking noise on my broken one. No clicking noise on new one.
